About halfway in. I doubt this is a new blend from scratch. If a Diesel had its way with a regular Series A, this would be the result. Nick was spot on with the flavor descriptions, except I didn't get the initial huge blast of pepper. Nice amount of pepper throughout, though; and a fantastic maddie finish.

Thanks for the review!

Sure does look like a tasty stick, I may have to get a sampler when my tax return comes in...

Although, I do have some credit card bills to pay. Hopefully I still have some of the cigars I've bought before it's time to pay the piper.

I had one of these last night and thoroghly enjoyed it. Wrapper was flawless (dyed maybe?) And was rich and strong. I would not recommend this one for the beginner.
